Metaxaglaea sp.
Stan,
Just when I think I have Sallows figured out, someone posts one that confounds. The PM on this specimen looks lower than usual Roadside. As the text description for a Roadside could apply to any of the three other Metaxaglaea species: semitaria, violacea, or australis, I personally wouldn't commit beyond Metaxaglaea sp.
Robert
